Mother Teresa on Prayer

'You should spend at least half an hour in the morning, and an hour at night in prayer. You can pray while you work. Work doesn't stop prayer, and prayer doesn't stop work. It requires only that small raising of mind to Him. "I love you, God, I trust you, I believe in you, I need you now." Small things like that. They are wonderful prayers.'
